2 DWI Checkpoints In Monmouth County This Weekend

MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ — There will be two DWI checkpoints this Labor Day holiday weekend in Monmouth County.

The first will be Friday night on Rt. 9 in Marlboro. The checkpoint will run from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. All northbound vehicles on Rt. 9 will be diverted into the Crunch Fitness parking lot, where all drivers will be screened for their sobriety.

The second checkpoint will be in Spring Lake Saturday, beginning at 10 p.m. and running until 2 a.m. Sunday. All southbound vehicles on Rt. 71 will be diverted into the Marucci Park parking lot (at 3rd Avenue), where all drivers will be screened for their sobriety.

The checkpoints are run by the Monmouth County DWI Task Force, which is currently led by Allenhurst Police Chief Michael Schneider. A different Monmouth County police chief is selected to oversee the DWI Task Force every year.

"The Task Force hopes all motorists will be responsible, especially this holiday weekend, when typically DWI arrests are more common due to the celebratory nature of the weekend," said Chief Schneider.
